Wei Jie. The student was the victim of a gang-related murder that occurred on 30 October 2010 in Downtwon East, where 12 members of a rival gang attacked Ng and slashed him with knives and choppers and screwdrivers, which led to Darren suffering from a total of 28 knife wounds on his head, neck, chest and limbs, one of which was fatal and caused Darren to bleed to death. Seven people were convicted of rioting while the other five people, including the mastermind Stilwell Ong Keat Pin, who were charged with murder, stood trial before Justice Tay Yong Kwang in 2012. At the trial in July 2012, the murder charges were reduced to culpable homicide and Tay convicted the five people accordingly. Tay reserved the sentencing until 8 September, and during the sentencing, the judge reportedly said that it was as heartbreaking for the court as it must have been for the parents watching the proceedings. He said in court as he passed the sentences on the five youths, "I can only implore especially on behalf of all parents, young persons in secret societies and street gangs to open their eyes to the tragic truth that violence begets violence and vicious acts only breed more vicious reactions." The five people were in the end sentenced to lengthy jail terms ranging from 8 to 12 years and to caning between 10 and 12 strokes of the cane, with the mastermind Stilwell Ong receiving the most severe sentence among all the five youths. The re-trial of Kho Jabing On 17 February 2008, two Malaysians from Sarawak, Kho Jabing and Galing Anak Kujat, robbed two Chinese construction workers in Geylang, and one of them, 40-year-old Cao Ruyin was severely bludgeoned on the head by Kho Jabing, then aged 24; Cao died from his severe head and brain injuries six days later in a coma. Kho and Galing were tried for murder, and were both condemned to hang in 2010 by the High Court of Singapore for the robbery and murder. Following an appeal in 2011, Galing Kujat's conviction was reduced to robbery with hurt and his death sentence was commuted to 18 and a half years in jail with 19 strokes of the cane, while Kho failed to escape the gallows when his appeal was rejected. However, the execution was postponed due to the Singapore government deciding to review the mandatory death penalty
